Talk to Wickle, Friday Flash and Dieseldick. There is another but I don't think he has joined the BFTP social group yet and I can't recall his name. They are all planing to come up to Akld for the ride on the 30th of August.. what about you??

Get it on

Fast one tl1000, join us for our trek north. Are you thinking of bringing the Kat? That would make 5 from HB.

Would be good to do some local BFTP rides too. I'm only free the odd weekend at present. Been in Taupo this weekend, with the cage. Not much fun.

Those stickers look smart Croc. Keep them for sanctioned rides only.

We all think it's great you guys are going to set up regular rides as part of the little BFTP social group.

Imagine if little BFTP groups start springing up in multiple provinces

Think of the ride day possibilities

Maybe not. My pipes and shocks are original. I'll have a look at the papers to be sure. I got the rego papers with one of the two I bought. The other (same paint colours and sequential engine and almost frame numbers) was too far gone to warrant restoration. Psy is going to use most of the engine, the frame and covers got binned and I have most of the rest left as questionable spares.

Thats a GK for sure. Did you get the mounting brackets with it? If not, and you want to try making some, I could lend you the brackets off my GK (Which is parked up waiting to be fitted with a sidecar. One day)

I've got a GS1000L engine thats been take out to 1100 with MTC pistons. I bought a wreck with a view to using bits in my 1100. It never happened so if you or anyone else is after a motor its for sale. Partially dismantled but complete and running right up to the second it was crashed into the back of a parked car. Make an offer. Also have a few other 1000L parts (no frame, tank or exhausts)

i know you don't have the exhaust

ps. for those not in the loop - good mate pete donated the muflers to go on Bruno but i've been short on "time" ($$) to make the headers. but it WILL happen
